IL When Lilacs Last in the Back Yard Bloomed This is a theme quilt developed
around a garden gate. The center block is adapted from Rita Denenberg's
appliqué Garden Gate block. I added her Lilacs, which I made into
appliqué motifs. Actually, I was thinking more of wisteria than
lilacs, for the same block reminded me of both. I followed the multiple
border building formula I use when I teach my Head for the Borders! class:
first border is triangles, second is vining, third is pieced blocks, and
fourth is swag. 0005barb.zip, which contains 05barbv.pj4, available for

IL Stars on the Prairie I used my guild's logo, which we call the Prairie
Star, fractured it, stretched it, and adapted it. I played with the color
augmentations we can use with EQ4.1 and did graded colors between the
red/rust and the deep teal and the gold. Because the entire piece is so
angular with pieces, I used a curvy quilting pattern over all as a complement.
I love the way all the shapes were able to be carried through to the last
border and even the quilting design. 0005barb.zip, which contains 05barbv.pj4,

05pat.gif Pat FL I
used BarbV's formula for muliple borders: 1st border - triangles, 2nd
border - vining, 3rd border - pieced blocks 4th border - swag. It worked!
Fabrics from EQ designer fabrics - Benartex Benarbasics. Most blocks from
EQ libraries. Some angular & swag blocks were drawn. 0005pat.zip,

Old Saybrook, CT Here is my May project. I was playing around with the
wreaths and some of my favorite colors and fabrics after Christmas 1999
when I designed this madallion. When the May Challenge required a project
with several borders, a project in which one person created a round robin
by his or herself, I decided to use this earlier project. I titled it
Mother's Day because the ribbons, bows and flowers reminded me of the
things my mother loved. It is a tribute to a woman I greatly admired and
loved and who was my inspiration for wife, mother, and grandmother. The
Twisted Ribbon by Dorothy Milligan, the Fancy Bow by Judy Sogn and the
swag border by Debbie Reed for the Swag Challenge. but I modified by adding
a flower as the corner block. ekallen@snet.net Ask for May 2000 clubEQ

Davenport, IA Owls Around Eleanor Burns gave me the first idea. It was
expanded when I saw Fons and Porter do a British frame quilt. The centers
of the square-in-square, the goose blocks, and the centers of the log
cabin are fussy cut from fabric with owls. I intend to finish this one
for our fall quilt show this year. Bear's Paw and borders are left to
do. cabaldry@home.com Ask for May 2000 clubEQ challenge project file.

Manitoba, Canada "Guardians of the Box" - The dragon block was
the result of my trying to learn how to trace bitmaps in Patchdraw. I
got the pattern from the book "The Crafter's Pattern Sourcebook"
by Mary MacCarthy. I had fun drawing it. Everything seemed to go so smoothly.
Then I decided to try it out in a baby block setting and I liked how the
dragons seemed to curl around the block-from there the different borders
seemed to evolve. hkleiner@netcom.ca Ask for May 2000 clubEQ challenge

Germany I got the idea doing a 'mandala' design in EQ4 by the book of
Sheila Finklestein 'Magic Quilted Mandala'. After designing the center-mandala
I had to find a surrounding for the center that would make it shine. After
giving it a lot of different approaches I finally decided for this one
which seems to me "complete". wolbriotto@t-online.de Ask for

Norway I love Sunflowers very much, and it had to be a Sunflower in this
design, anticipating summer as I am! This is my own design, using only
one block, Kaleidoscope, from EQ Library. It was great fun playing around
with borders! This is my first challenge, but not my last :o)) hanneschreinert@c2i.net

This quilt was originally designed before it was possible in EQ and was
still a challenge in EQ4. The real quilt won first place at the local
fair, third place for hand quilting at the local guild show in 1999, and
was a finalist in "House of Fabrics" last contest in 1998. dorothym@ivic.net Ask for May 2000 clubEQ challenge project file.

Chi 2000" - an original design based on a quilt I made for my Tai
Chi instructor in 1995. The "John Flynn" outside border would
be constructed in diagonal sections (not as illustrated in the EQ blocks
I have drawn). The Chinese characters were traced from images scanned
into my computer and imported into EQ Patch Draw. buckle7@attglobal.net Ask for May 2000 clubEQ challenge project file.
